(If we have a build for the K3 that is, I don't recall off-hand if we do.)
I wish there was one, but I looked and didn't find any.

Most likely, combine the two methods (the original binary + just the binary modifications):


Reading the ARM instructions that you just dump'd will answer your questions about
"Where / How do I change the limit on the array length?"
"What is the storage format for mime types?"
and just about any other question you might have about how it works / how to change it.

Sometimes changing the behavior of a binary does include the WAFG (Wild Ass F...ing Guess) protocol you mentioned - but only rarely.

C.S. -> The "S" stands for: Science - - - There is a method to all this madness here.
I'm sure everything has an answer, but since I have a limited life span I must prioritize my time. For the task at hand (simply downloading azw3 and pdf files on my old k3) I can't invest a large amount of time learning how to use objcopy. I was hoping for a smart gui editor that would read the file, understand its format and let me make modifications without harm -- or hand holding on how to do it in under ~20 minutes (maybe the internet has this specialized knowledge somewhere, but google hasn't been very helpful to me).
